    Wings Of Refuge

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 9, 2001
    based on 85 ratings
     | 7,027 views

    Funeral message for Mr. Ekerete Akpaete, a Nigerian immigrant who died very suddenly, in the arms of his infant daughter.

    To experience great loss is difficult enough. To experience that loss in a far country, with few who understand, few who are close, is even more difficult. And when that loss means that those who depend on you will need you even more, yet the resources to help them will be scarce – that is truly ...read more

     | 6,440 views

    Funeral service for Elizabeth Wilkey Abernethy, a quiet yet committed long-term church member who struggled with cancer for nine years. We can wait if, like Liz, we are self-controlled, upright, and godly, for the glory of the risen Christ is coming.

    I am not very good at waiting. Are you? I do not like to sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting for something to happen. Do you remember that in days past shoe repair shops would advertize, “Shoes repaired while you wait”? You would go in, sit down, take off your old clodhoppers, and turn them in, ...read more

    Mrs. Ruth left a spiritual inheritance! It wasn’t written on paper or signed by a lawyer but it was much easier to read. It was her life.

    We have come this morning to remember Mrs. Ruth Bishop. We have many sweet and precious memories to remember her by. Those memories we will never forget, but this afternoon I want to direct your attention toward some things she left behind, that are more powerful and more valuable than any last ...read more

    Flora's Message

    Contributed by Ryan Akers on Sep 22, 2005
    based on 13 ratings
     | 4,398 views

    This is a very simple sermon written specifically for a lady in our church who passed away. But the message is a salvation message. I hope you may be able to use it to help you in writing a personal message about someone in your church.

    From the moment I walked through the door of Warrenton Wesleyan Church 16 months ago I knew there was something special about Flora. I will admit that I pride myself in trying to learn and remember names, but for some reason, and I have never admitted this, I have the hardest time remembering ...read more

    Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him ... The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. My first glimpse of the kind of man Cecil Davison was came just a few feet from where I am standing now. It was over at that window. We had scheduled a workday to get ...read more

    Funeral message for Thelma Green Mann, known for her direct manner and strong will. The name Thelma is derived from the Greek, "Thelema", meaning will. A turning point is reached when one no longer focus on her own will, but on God’s will. Takoma Park

    Grandchildren will teach you much about life. One of mine, Jackie, age 5, taught me about human nature recently. My wife and I had gone to take care of the girls while their parents were away, and we came, as always, armed with things to do – arts and crafts, games, books, the whole gamut of ...read more

    Keeping The Doorkeeper

     | 13,855 views

    Funeral for Guy Robinson, one-time chair of Takoma Park Baptist Church’s Building and Grounds Committee. God keeps the doorkeeper secure, and withholds no good thing from those who stay away from dishonesty.

    I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. Eight plus one equals nine, subtract nine, leaves zero. That is the first thing Guy Robinson taught me, more than 23 years ago. It was the first thing, but by no means the last. Guy was at the time I ...read more

    This sermon is dedicated in memory of Mrs. Annie Pierre. It reminds every believer that at the end of his earthly pilgrimage, God will take him home.

He was not David, the most notorious of the Kings. He was not Abraham, the Father of the Jewish nation. He was not Nimrod, the father of ...read more
